## Description

Chat without internet. Mesh messenger using Bluetooth & Wi-Fi Direct. E2E encrypted. Find people nearby. Create local groups. No servers. No accounts. Just waves.

Waves is a peer-to-peer mesh messenger that works without internet, servers, or accounts. Just Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct.

Your phone connects directly to nearby phones, forming a mesh network. Messages hop from device to device, extending range across crowds, campuses, and festivals — all without cell towers.

  • No accounts, no phone number, no email — ever
  • No servers store your messages — they exist only on your device
  • Messages auto-delete after the time you choose (15 min to 2 hours)
  • No analytics, no tracking, no ads
  • Only location group pins are stored in the cloud — nothing else

  FEATURES
  • General broadcast chat — talk to everyone nearby
  • Private 1-on-1 encrypted chats
  • Voice messages — push to talk
  • Photo sharing through mesh
  • Contacts — add friends when nearby
  • Location & portable groups with optional password

  PERFECT FOR
  • Festivals & concerts where cell service is dead
  • Camping, hiking, off-grid adventures
  • Classrooms & campus without Wi-Fi

  NO INTERNET. NO SERVERS. NO RULES.
  Just people and their phones.
